About Cheryl del Prado

As a Corporate Recruiter for 6 years in the compliance and insurance industries, I’ve learned that the best way to meet my objectives is to earn the trust of applicants, hiring managers, colleagues in HR, and senior management. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to share the values of the organization I serve, and I actively represent the company’s brand in all of my communications. I also demonstrate to applicants that we genuinely care about their careers, whether they move forward with our company or not. I manage the full lifecycle of the hiring process, including sourcing, ATS database management, interviewing, analysis, offer-related negotiations, onboarding, and retention. Earlier in my career I was a SME trainer and claims adjuster. My experience as a trainer equips me to communicate effectively across all levels of the organization; and as claims adjuster, I developed investigative skills that I use now to ensure that potential employees are qualified and suitable.# Aligning the expectations of hiring managers and applicants has led me to receive consistent top scores for retention. I team with operations to develop accurate job descriptions that also promote the company’s brand; and I mentor applicants to ensure they thoroughly understand responsibilities and requirements, as well as company culture. I never want to lose good applicants because of lags in an onboarding process, and I am adept at assessing where bottlenecks are occurring and securing buy-in from management to implement turnarounds. In one instance, I proposed an improved process that resulted in cutting our average onboarding time by 10 days. As social media recruiting moves to the forefront, I lead timely, diplomatic communications with individuals on Glassdoor, addressing open issues and conveying a positive image of the company’s family culture.
